-Subsidized the Agriculture sector,something he was lacking in support from the past two terms.

-Continued colonization in Africa by fully colonizing Liberia,parts of Ethopia,and parts of Sub Sahara. Installing democracies in those parts with american ideals.

-Formed a gang of nations to help Germany fully get back on its feet quoted saying "Nations in destruction inevitably cause destruction to others, this is why we must rebuild for each other" (Nazi Germany is avoided,though Italy and Japan are almost inevitably going to be axis)

-Again a scandal free presidency

-Average approval 66%

-Fords fourth term (If he wins) he said will be his last.

-Socialist Party collapses after Debs death,back to a head to head party system. (2 parties)

Wouldn't invading Ethiopia put them into military and diplomatic conflict with Fascist Italy?

I should have made it more clear,colonizing as in Ford purchased parts of Ethopia from yes,a Facist country (But remember the USA never came into WW1,so Italy has never done harm to us) It is about only 5% of the country. (This could provide a military advantage at a later date

1928 was before the Italian invasion (but when it was certainly planned and hooks were being extended by Mussolini in preparation). Italy (and Japan) were actually on the Allied side of WW1, and Mussolini was not yet in power during that war - ultimately, in wouldn't matter, who took whose side in WW1 or stayed neutral, as Mussolini's ambitions had little to do, in the end with WW1, except using dissatisfaction over "broken promises" at the Peace of Paris after Italy didn't gain all they felt they deserved from the partitioning of the Austro-Hungarian and Ottoman Empires as a propaganda point. Ethiopia, was one of the only remaining avenues of expansion remotely left to Italy at that point, and it wouldn't have been an issue they would have conceded without a bloody fight (and the Italian military back then wasn't a trifle, as they could troops and equipment to the Horn of Africa, just by geography faster than the U.S. could, and they also had all the military technological advances of the 1920's). As for buying land, in 1928, it was shortly before Mussolini's actual invasion (though, as I'd said, he'd staked it out), and Ethiopia was ruled by the antiquated feudal rule of Emperor Haile Selassie, and, because of it's strictly feudal landowning scheme, like Fiji, Nauru, Tonga, and the Channel Islands today with their strict land tenure systems, land was just not for sale by anyone to anyone under any terms - period.

Forgive me ab the WW1 part,right as i submitted that i remembered,One of Fords greatest traits during his tenure is deal making with the good and bad,The land is kind of like Guantanamo Bay in the modern eyes,small piece of land with around 1000 civilians,though they have there own local gov.,he also has a military base there. It is almost as if Ford and The Italians Ethiopians,are like Dennis Rodman and Kim Jung Un,the world is just confused about it.

-A week after the election Ford said he goes back on his word,after getting the result that he received the highest popular vote in history,he will be seeking a fifth term

-Ford Purchases a large part of Saharan Africa (About 50% the size of Egypt) and proceed to make the country "Sahara" as part of his colonization.

-Montana forms a militia after declaring Ford a Monarch (this was more of a terror like group) of around 1k men, approximately 200 sq miles of Northwest Montana succeeds from the Union,only lasting 3 weeks,after Ford finally issued military force they surrendered, around 76 men from the militia were killed.

-Ford cracks down on the Mafia, having over 20 mob leaders executed,the execution part was not very popular.

-Progressives and Populists form a massive movement to try to remove Ford from office.

Ford/Knox (I)(rep) vs Franklin D. Roosevelt/Garner (dem) ----FORD HAS LOST!----after 20 years in office,Ford just could not get his 6th victory. The popular charismatic New York governor has upset the sitting president,and will be the president for WW2

Taft/Macarthur (rep) vs Hull/Bankhead (dem) ---This is known as the "win-win" election as both candidates had over 55% approval.-One of the biggest flips in year to year history,Tafts superior campaigning triumphs,even though early Hull was in the lead.

I'm not even sure what's going on anymore. This timeline became odd and hard-to-follow, and not overly realistic (within the utter, complete inconceivable, and sublime suspension of disbelief required to be forced to even make alternate history of ANY sort work), and I can't figure out, even reading back in the previous posts several times, just what's going on and how this all fits together.

It's alternate history,I'm not a fan of or reader of the "professional" alternate history buffs (I really never understood that personally) ,it may be hard to follow in some sense but everything does line up,and ive seen much much more unrealistic timelines,and I do personally like odd, and different though it may make sense to some and not others, people perceive things differently, we are all human,and they arent as in depth as my future posts will be,I could have just done a bunch of sims in were polls are affected but i wanted a tiny bit of background. And this Isn't going to be my main alternate history post, I am just throwing things together to finish this series, thats why my posts arent as in depth as they will be (and they will be very perceivable), this isn't in anyway my main line of storytelling that i plan to do.
